Lord Have Mercy

guitar tabs lyrics

Michael W. Smith

Another silly praise song. Wish I was good enough to tab some metal stuff so I didn't
like such a wuss...

Verse 1

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken;
Em7 C2 G

Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim.
Em7 C2 G

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom.
Em7 C2 G Dsus D
Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again.

I have built an altar where I worship things of man,

Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end

I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your pres � ence;
Em7 C2 G

Your grace forever shining, like a beacon in the night.
